IBTimes News reports on AlJazeera's closure of its English-language bureau in Beijing after Chinese authorities expelled its correspondent Melissa Chan and failed to grant visas to other journalists. The Foreign Correspondents' Club of China (FCCC) said it was “appalled” by Beijing's actions, calling the refusal to grant Chan a new visa a “grave threat to foreign reporters' ability to work in China”. “This is the most extreme example of a recent pattern of using journalist visas in an attempt to censor and intimidate foreign correspondents in China,” the organisation said in a statement.

Interesting blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog jump out. Please let me know where you got your theme. Thank you
